Accelerated Drug Development AB, Sweden is based in Karolinska Institute, Sweden and was created to promote further development of the technology, prove clinical value of the technology and consequent implementation D~sense technology in routine clinical practice. The D~sense technology has been developed at the Department of Microbiology, Tumour and Cell Biology (MTC) at the Karolinska Institute over the last 12 years by a team of scientists and it builds on frontline knowledge and understanding of tumour biology. This technology will enable clinicians to predict a patient response to a treatment and will allow optimization of a treatment leading to better cure, minimal side effects and maximized cost efficiency. The concept is similar to the test of bacterial antibiotic sensitivity. This technology will also enable personalized treatment for patients which will in turn revolutionize the field of cancer therapy. D~Sense technology shows very promising results in the controlled laboratory environment of the developer with several scientific papers being published, but its value in routine clinical laboratories remains to be determined through a set of carefully performed research projects and clinical trials in tight connection with oncological clinics. SIST will collaborate on the many levels of these project with the goal of bringing D~Sense technology from bench to bed side thereby translating research into commercial use for the improvement of patients. |  |
